| proper burn in for cd player This has been discussed many times on Audiogon. There are those that believe in it and those that don't.Simply from an engineering design perspective, a drift in response over time is an undesirable drawback in a high quality audio component. Most... | |
| The importance of component location... Bigjoe,I am in your practical minded camp. I have never really bothered much where an amp goes as long as it is ventilated. I don't use any special pads or isolation either. The safest place for this kind of stuff is in a well ventilated cupboard ... | |
| Dual or single subwoofers? You may be able to do it...although it is not recommended.Corners have advantages in that they will increase your bass by about 6 db....so put the subs very close indeed.Corner placement is definitely not recommended with speakers due to cancellat... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? You don't really need HDCD for playback....16 bits is enough for a good mastering studio to play with and give you a good CD (96 db dynamic range). A recording studio professional may benefit from the flexibility of extra bits and greater dynamic ... | |

| RACHMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2 Telarc has a simply excellent and exciting/dramatic recording of this. Lorin Maazel/Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra/Horacio Guiterrez. It may not be to everyone's tastes but dramatic and powerful it is ( as well as an excellent recording). | |
| Subwoofer Connection Yes you will miss something unless your DSP can take the 0.1 channel and "phantom" or mix the signal with your front L & R channels. You will also might lose the ability to use effective notch filtering on your extreme LF base...which almost a... | |
| Do I want a sub with VR-4jr's? A REL or other high quality dedicated sub will give highly accurate extreme LF bass. This is useful in the 20 to 50 Hz range if you have monitor type speakers (designed for very low bass distortion and consequently limited in bass LF extension).I ... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Phil Collins has to be up there because he wrote so much music... but my all time favorite as a pure drummer has to be Steve Ferrone. He may not be well known and has mostly done contract work.I have heard him play live with Average White Band in ... | |
